Are you a blog consumer or a blog producer?

A set of very important questions bloggers should ask themselves daily: How did I spend my day? Did I take any steps towards reaching my goals? Did I improve my chances today? Did I improve my blog? Spread the word about it? Worked on increasing the readership and increasing the revenue? Was I a blog producer or was I a blog consumer?

We all have dreams, we all have goals we want to reach, but we are not all taking daily steps towards these dreams and these goals.

Don’t be a blog consumer, be a blog producer. Take action today. Produce something valuable to people.

Too many people sit and talk about starting a blog and making money from their blog, but talking about it is as far as most go. Most people never take the action to make their dreams come true.

If you are currently blogging, you have already started your professional online presence. You are on the right track to improve your chances. Just by starting a blog you are much closer to reaching your goals.

But just starting a blog is not enough. Hence the question, what did you do today? Blogging is not about being able to say that you have a blog. It is not about the key post that you wrote last month that went viral.

It is about performing consistently day after day and helping a few people at a time. Perform day in and day out, be available via email / comments / Twitter, build your blog loyalist one person at a time.

Be careful not to spend too much time reading your RSS newsreader or your Twitter stream instead of working on your own blog. You do not get better by thinking or talking or reading about it – you get better by taking action and doing it.

Produce a new blog post that will help people, that people will care about. Help people with their questions / problems. Take actions towards your dreams. Don’t be a blog consumer, be a blog producer!
